10. Explantation

Explanted devices and accessories may not be reused. Explanted CRT-Ps can be delivered to the local BIOTRONIK representative or the BIOTRONIK home office for expert disposal. If possible, the explanted devices should be cleaned with a sodium-hyperchlorine solution of at least 1% chlorine and, thereafter, washed with water prior to shipping.

All implantable electronic devices should be explanted before cremation of a deceased patient.

CAUTION

Device Incineration - Never incinerate a CRT-P. Be sure the CRT-P is explanted before a patient who has died is cremated. (see Section 10)

Explanted Devices – Return all explanted devices to

BIOTRONIK.
